Mahalaya Paksha (Mahalaya Amavasai)



SANATANA DHARMA: Significant of Mahalaya Paksha(Mahalaya Amavasai) and Ancestors
To Live a Successful and Peaceful Life, we should get blessings from our ancestors and generally there are 2 primary causes for problems:

1) Problems caused by Navagrahas (9 Planets)
2) Problems/Obstacles caused by our Ancestral Spirits
Usually, ancestors who have departed with unfulfilled desires are problematic and if we fix the above mentioned problems, we can lead a peaceful life. Performing Tarppanam is the most effective means for helping departed loved ones and ancestors and it can also change our destiny.
Why to Appease Departed Ancestors ?
Our Ancestors live in ancestral world (Pitra loka) and they can help in solving problems related to money, career, health, relationship,etc., quite easily. Communicate and reconnect with them during this Mahalaya paksha.
Significance of Donating Food and Clothing
The easiest way to access God's grace is to feed a person who is starving for food and to donate clothes. Donating food is considered to be the greatest charity of all the charities. When you donate food and clothing to those in need, it elevates your soul. There is an interesting legend highlighting the importance of donating food.
The Legend
Karna, the renowned hero of the Epic Mahabharata, was a great philanthropist and he never said no to anyone who approached him for help. He had donated huge wealth and had done all kinds of charity, except for donating food.
Karna left the earthly curl after his death and reached heaven. The great charity which he had done on the earth plane was returned to him hundredfold there, but it was all material wealth and no food at all. He then realized that although he had done all kinds of charities, he did not donate food. He prayed to the God of Death, who sent him back to the earth for a fortnight, to make up for this deficiency. Karna fed the Brahmins and poor and offered oblations of water during the fortnight. On his return to Heaven, he had plenty of food. It has been anticipated that offerings made during the period of Mahalaya Paksha benefits all the departed souls, whether they are connected to you or not.
Astrology for Mahalaya Paksha 2014
Mahalaya 2014 began while a powerful “Grahamalika Yoga” formation was in place. This yoga will continue till September 16th, (Another such placement can only happen in another 60 years, i.e in 2074.) The auspiciousness of this yoga is ascertained by the starting and ending point. The starting house is the seed and shows the resources available while the ending house indicates the main focus and end results. Starting from Jupiter in his exalted position in Cancer, Sun in Leo (own house) Mercury exalted in Virgo, Saturn exalted in Libra and Mars in Scorpio (own house), the 5 major planets form a Pancha Grahamalika Yoga. The planets are aligned between Jupiter and Mars and placed in the 4th and 8th Houses of the natural chart (Aries through Pisces). Jupiter, the planet of knowledge and expansion being in 4th House, the House of learning will expand one’s knowledge that can be put to practical use as indicated by Mars, the planet of action placed in 8th House. Both the planets are in the water signs; Jupiter in Cancer, the flowing watery sign, and Mars in Scorpio, the deep still water sign. This denotes that in addition to bestowing the worldly practical knowledge, they are also conferring spiritual knowledge to the propitiators.
